Went by K
I don't know if my great grandfather's name was K or Kay.
~~~~~~~~~~~
K shot his wife with a shotgun and then shot himself in the Boss Community by Idabel, OK
~~~~~~~~~~~
My great grandfather was a sharecropper in the Boss community by Idabel, OK, though he had his father's land in De Queen, AR
People would live in the house without permission because it was vacant
I understand the land in De Queen was rocky for farming so he moved to the red river land in Boss. My grandfather, Homer, gave the land to his brother, Fred, who sold it to Hub Byers.
In those days the farm would just be handed down to the oldest son so John handed it down to Harvey and Harvey handed it down to Homer
Because Walker had died
